Description
For this assignment, you will participate in an online experiment on reaction time located within the psychology learning tools". Once you have completed the experiment you will need to analyze data (I will give you data) and write a lab report (7- 10 pages) in APA style consisting of the following sections:
- Title Page
- Abstract
- Introduction
- Method
- Results
- Discussion
- References
- Appendix with IRB form
Just like the mini lab report, you will participate in the online experiment so you know what the experiment is like. You will be given the data to analyze.
Here is the data file:Data
You will write the report as if you were the researcher conducting the experiment. You have some options in your research question for this project. The data you are given includes the gender and age of the participants as well as three columns of results data (from 3 tasks). If you have a particular interest and want to modify the data, you have that choice. We will talk about this in week 4. (I chose music as a reaction distraction)
Careful attention must be paid to APA style as it represents a significant portion of your grade for the paper and is an intended learning outcome for the course. At the end of the term you will submit your completed paper to your assignment folder.
In addition to presenting your work in a paper, you will create a graphical representation in the form of a scientific poster. The poster must include your title, name, abstract, introduction, method, results, discussion, and references. Be aware that the poster is not simply a reiteration of the work you did for the paper, but instead is almost of snapshot of what you have done. (Attached is a sample)

Music as a reaction distraction, Hope Timberlake, (Course)
Abstract
The impact of music on the ability of people to
concentrate have been evaluated. In this regard,
the influence that listening to music had on the
time required to perform different activities has
been recorded for a group of 160 people. The
people participating in the experiment were 1758 years old.
In order to verify the claim according to which
music has a stronger effect on the ability to
concentrate in the case of men, the people
were divided in two groups according to their
gender. The obtained results indicate that
women have higher GNG records than men (t = 2.202, p-value = 0.029). Additionally, it seems
that the age of the person may have a slight
impact on the time required to complete the
experiment. In this case, older people seem to
take longer on performing the different tasks,
even while this is not related to their gender (r =
0.165, p-value = 0.037)
Introduction
Multiple studies indicate that women
and men react different to music (Juslin
& Laukka, 2004). Further, they perceive
and listen to music differently, which
implies that the gender has a significant
influence on how music affects their
ability to concentrate on other tasks
like driving (Febriandirza et al., 2017)
or other feelings like pain (Dobek et al.,
2014)
Method
(COMPLETE)
Results
Hypotheses tested
The response to music perception
depends on:
•
Gender
•
Age
•
Simple
•
GNG
•
Choice
Discussion
The method needs to be re-evaluated in
order to reach accurate results. The high
coefficients of variation obtained between
the two groups (men and women) makes it
impossible to perform accurate analysis.
Consider including other variables in your
experiment or controlling them to avoid a
confounding effect that masks the influence
of the selected variables on the impact of
music perception.

MUSIC AS A REACTION DISTRACTION
Music as a Reaction Distraction
Introduction
In the words of Plato, music gives wings to the soul. There have been other matters that
show that people perceive and understand music differently (Juslin & Laukka, 2004). The focus
of the essay will be on the differences of the perception of music by men and women, and how
listening to music can distract them from their daily tasks by disrupting their ability to
concentrate on other tasks and/or feelings.
Multiple studies indicate that women and men react different to music (Juslin & Laukka,
2004). Further, they perceive and listen to music differently, which implies that the gender has a
significant influence on how music affects their ability to concentrate on other tasks like driving
(Febriandirza et al., 2017) or other feelings like pain (Dobek et al., 2014). These researchers
demonstrated how music had a significantly higher impact on the performance of other tasks in
the case of men compared than it did on the activities carried out by women. In this regard, men
typically claimed that they functioned best only when focused on one activity at a time.
Silvestrini et al. (2011) demonstrated that when older men and women shifted the gaze
from a music source, there was a major impact on the brain activity that resulted in a decreased
perception of the music and a regained perception of pain (Silvestrini et al., 2011). This study
indicates that the visual and auditive senses are interconnected, and that the impact of music on
the concentration ability of people depends on their possibility to see where music is c...
